April 28th Meeting Cancelled

Dear Scout Families,

Due to the lack of availability of more than 75% of our Cub Scouts we will not be meeting as planned. Baseball and Robotics are both in full swing, (no pun intended) so not only are our Cubs unavailable but many of our Den Leaders are unable to attend as well.

Our final formal meeting of the year will be Monday, May 12th. I have a fun evening planned of awards and a campfire craft. Please attend if at all possible as we will be finalizing our camping plans for this summer.

Parents,

The Clean Up will end at 4:00 with food, refreshments and prizes. Please be on time as we may be directed to a new location after registrations are complete.
• Service Project Hours are required for all Packs and Troops-the more Cubs attending, the more hours generated toward this goal.

• Gloves and Trash bags are provided.
• Please make sure your Cub is IN UNIFORM with a hat and sunscreen ON.
• A Parent or Guardian is Required to attend.
• You are welcome to bring a Camel Back or water bottle to drink from while working.

The Collins' family will be departing the event at 2:30 to attend an additional obligation. Our next meeting is Monday, April 28th. Expect an agenda to arrive this weekend via this blog.

Agenda for Monday, April 14th, 2014: Faith

Scout Families,

"Young people need faith. There is abundant evidence that children benefit from the moral compass provided by religious tradition. We acknowledge that faith can become an important part of a child's identity. Each of the major faiths breeds hope, optimism, compassion, and a belief in a better tomorrow. Scouting encourages each young person to begin a spiritual journey through the practice of his or her faith tradition. One of the key tenets of Scouting is "duty to God." While Scouting does not define religious belief for its members, it has been adopted by and works with youth programs of all major faiths." Boy Scouts of America.

We are fortunate to host our Guest Speaker, Chris Weaver, Youth Pastor, J Bar J Church, who will be discussing faith with our Cubs at this very special meeting.

Here is our Agenda:
